Furcadia Name: Jesse Foster
Character's Full Name: Jesse Ethan Foster
IC Age: 23
Species: Human

IC Experience: In his teenage years back in Australia, Jesse had a part-time job at a stable, where he worked as a riding instructor and trainer. In this case, he has a fascination with racing thoroughbreds, standardbreds, and arabians. In other words, the entire horseracing sport. His previous job only gave him a little experience in the work, but studied the techniques for years.
IC Preferences: Racing thoroughbreds and arabians; able to, at some times, work with standardbreds.
OOC Experience: OOCly, I have virtually none. I've never participated as a trainer except to be a smart ass and teach people how to care for and work with/ride horses. I'm hoping, once I turn sixteen, to get a job at a stable and hopefully buy my own horse. When this happens, I want to reteach my mom and teach some of my friends to ride.

Character's Current Furcadia Description: You know you want <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/jessefoster/">this</a>. {Australian} {23 yrs.}
Sample 1-Paragraph Roleplaying Post: [preferably use a post you've actually used in roleplay; look in your logfiles] Jesse Foster placed his hands up gingerly, smiling. "S'alright, sheila, but I'd rather not. Not much of a shower." He chuckled, holding no intentions to hurt her feelings if that was the case. "Myself, I'm more of a racin' trainer, really, mate." He grinned toothily, placing his hands immediately down again to regain balance and grip the wooden fence harshly. No need for another graceful fall like last week.

Hours Generally Available Online: On weekdays, I'm generally available around the evenings if I have the free time to be. Though, on weekends, almost all day.
Why We Should Hire You: Because I'm the first male trainer! ;D Huzzah. No, uh. You need racing trainers, and that just happens to be Jesse's strength in horse training. So. Yeah.

EDIT: Accepted! :D Welcome to TREC.

[Dimitri]

Furcadia Name: Dimitri Darkholme
Character's Full Name: Dimitri Damien Darkholme
IC Age: 22
Species: Furre (Russian Wolfhound/GSD Mix)

IC Experience: Dimitri grew up around horses, having been brought up on a farm. He tended to help his father break in the new yearlings brought in and later worked for the Godolphin Stables to earn a living.
IC Preferences: Generally he likes to train racehorses of all types, though stbs are a bit of a challenge for him and he can work with horses needing to be broken in.
OOC Experience: Well, I horseback ride, have been for about 11 years and people rely on me to work horses who have been laid off for a while, do to medical conditions. Plus I follow horse racing very closely.

Character's Current Furcadia Description: <i>Masculine of <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/dimitridarkholme/index.htm">Romanian</a> decent walks towards you. Clothed in a black silk shirt and white riding pants, he stands at 6'2". Shoft, wavy black hair frames his gentle face, dark blue eyes attentive and serious. His hands are clothed by black gloves and black riding boots adorn his feet. Friendly yet quiet is this furre's personality.</i> Am'none
Sample 1-Paragraph Roleplaying Post:
Dimitri Darkholme stood gazing into the paddock of the feminine yearling. He leaned his torso against the fence, eyes narrowed in observation. After watching her antics for a bit, the young man let out a sigh and straightened, moving to enter the paddock. A lead lay in his left hand as he worked the gate with his right. If the filly didn't try to bolt, he would slowly approach, making sure she knew he wouldn't be a threat to her. Coming to the middle of the paddock, Dimitri waited. The rest was up to her.

Hours Generally Available Online: Blah, I'm on all the time but because of school, on weekdays, I'll be online generally from 2 pm Furc time till about 8:45 pm Furc time. Weekends I'll be on almost all the time and Wednesdays will be iffy because I have my riding lesson at 4 pm furc time.
Why We Should Hire You: Erm...you all love me? Dimitri has a love of horses, especially training them and bringing up their potential. Plus you know meh as Fanta

[Mariah deMontigny]

Furcadia Name: Mariah Demontigny
Character's Full Name: Mariah Lynn deMontigny
IC Age: 22
Species: Human

IC Experience: Mariah was born and raised on a farm in a small country town along with her sister, Leanna. Their mother, Lea, taught them to ride and almost everything they needed to know about horses. Mariah took her skills from her mother and trained her own horse, Lil' Guy, for gymkhana. Since then, she has opened a boarding stable with her family and is the trainer there. Previously she had received a job from a professional reining trainer, Joni Carvin, and is now fully prepared to take on, train, and show reiners as well as gymkhana horses. Along with those main showing styles, Mariah has proven to be a steady trainer western pleasure, equitation, trail, and even halter.
IC Preferences: Mariah prefers to train gymkhana and reining, but will gladly go for any other job that is brought her way. She /loves/ breaking horses as well as showing them. (So, if the owner needs a rider, she is available for that as well.)
OOC Experience: Well, I have experience with a professional reining trainer; from caring for horses, training, lessons, and just about everything, to get me to the point where I am employed there. Before that, I was involved at a gymkhana barn where I learned the basics of training horses (both foals and adults). I have shown in reining, gymkhana, western pleasure, western equitation, halter, jumping, dressage, and trail. I am involved with 4H because I love helping the kids learn to handle their horse better and watching them grow as they work harder. I also have some veterinary experience (just minor things, until I get out of high school) and plan on becoming an equine vet. So, I am very experienced in all areas of horses.

Character's Current Furcadia Description: Tall, slender, welcoming young woman. She has lots of equestrian experience and is always out to do her best and please the people. Her determination has gotten her several victories in the show ring as well as training in the stables.
Sample 1-Paragraph Role playing Post: Mariah slipped the ruby red halter over the three-year-old's slender face and led her out to the round pen. She walked to the center, unclipping the lead rope that linked her to the filly. She picked up the whip and urged he filly to the rail of the pen, always staying behind her shoulder as encouragement to keep moving forward. After several laps of trotting, she clucked her into a canter, still staying tall and not letting the filly stop. Around and around the filly went, reversing towards the rail whenever Mariah stepped in front of her shoulder, until she finally lowered her crown and began licking her lips. This was what Mariah had been looking for, the exact signs. She released the whip from her grip and stood still, her back facing the sweat lathered filly. The horse stopped, and faced Mariah with great curiosity. She began to slowly walk near the two legged creature, eventually sniffing the scent from Mariah's shoulder. Mariah slowly turned around, rubbing the filly on the forehead as a sign of trust. Everything that Mariah had worked for the past 6 months was finally beginning to pay off...

Hours Generally Available Online: On weekdays I am working until afternoon at my trainer's, but I still have 4 hours at the very least of computer time. On weekdays I have practically all day, but I am trying to cut back from my 12 hour days on the computer. So for weekends, I am shooting at 6 hours (minimum).
Why We Should Hire You: You should hire me because I (being OOC) have a lot of experience with horses under my belt as well as working with other people who are related to that horse. So with that experience, I can link it into my IC sessions to give TREC the full realistic feeling of having a working, responsible, successful trainer.

EDIT by Admin: Looks pretty good! I'd just like to see you around TREC a bit more before I make a final decision.

[Mariah deMontigny]

Alright, will do!

You may have seen me around as Kodak#SO or Shuvee. I am around there a lot with my friend Ruffian#SO. :]]

EDIT: Oh yes, I almost forgot! Does being a trainer also qualify you for being a riding instructor? If so, that's awesome! If not, is there any way I could possibly become an instructor as well?
